Blog Entry 3.4 Final Project "Bete du Gevaudan"

I finally got to my final decision, LA BETE DU GEVAUDAN, using every single entry i can find on the internet i will sketch a quick drawing of each different description i'll have found. Then using a morphing program i will make a short tranformation of all sketches put together.

The story of the Bete du Gevaudan (Beast of the Gevaudan) is set in France, Haute Loire (Lozere), starting in 1764 to 1767. According to Wipipedia, this beast attacked 210 people and killed 113, only injured 49 of them and 89 of the one that died were partly eaten. A movie was also made about this beast, really well done, this movie depicts the story and shows how two man team up to destroy the wolf, only difference to the real story, in the movie the beast is controled bya secret society that uses it to keep the population under control and rule the region. Some sources say there was only one beast, some others counted more than one. My job will be to recreate the REAL story (illustrated) of the Bete du Gevaudan.
Here is a first example of what my 10 minutes sketches should look like:


The description for this sketch was the one from Wipikidia.com: Long teetgh, really long tail, massive beast...
(Other sketches will not be shown until the final presentation)

- With this my project will be composed of two different parts:
- The short version of the story of the Beast of the Gevaudan
- A map to precisely locate this story. The map will go from a general view of France, to then more precisely the region of Loreze then the town of Gevaudan, the limits then and now.
- The morphing of all sketches (should have about 15 sketches by the presentation)
- The interesting facts and unfoundable facts from this story (if foundable)

  1. I like this collaboration. Maybe you can work with one of the new student seminar teachers for accurate feedback...or just skim through the catalogue. Wish I had this when I started here!
